When Amazon Prime's streaming feature first came out, we noted that it's a bit cheaper than Netflix. However, Macworld takes a look at a few other characteristics—notably selection and platform—to see how the two services stack up. The verdict? Netflix is probably still your best bet, unless you really want Amazon's two-day shipping:

On paper, Netflix's selection of about 20,000 titles beats out Amazon Prime's 5000 titles, but there's a chance Amazon Prime could have the same popular titles as Netflix, right?

Wrong. Amazon Prime's selection isn't even close. A quick survey of Amazon's "Prime Eligible" pages for movies and TV shows reveals a dismal lack of popular and recent titles. None of the Netflix recent arrivals is available on Amazon Prime; however, you can stream these same titles using Amazon Instant Video, the site's pay-per-view streaming service.

Both services are available on a number of different platforms, like TVs, set-top boxes, and Blu-Ray players (though not on the Apple TV). Netflix is available on a few mobile devices, while Prime isn't yet. Overall, Amazon's service has potential, but it's lack of recent titles means it's probably worth the extra $16 a year to keep paying for Netflix—for now. Hit the link to read more.
